HOUSTON—Although Harvey's main impact is now in the rear-view mirror, many who were in the thick of it that weekend encourage the recovery process to remain in the forefront. And, there is no shortage of relief efforts to highlight. Throughout the aftermath of Harvey and Irma, many companies have chipped in to help, either in the form of donations or physical contributions.

One of those companies is Transwestern, which raised approximately $90,000 from team members across the country to directly benefit its team members in Houston who sustained damage to property. In addition, team members volunteered on the weekends to help affected team members with cleaning and repairing damaged homes, provided home-cooked meals or restaurant/grocery gift cards for affected team members, and donated furniture, clothes and housewares to affected team members. Transwestern vice president Anna Mcquillan Rose also organized a fundraiser to benefit recovery efforts from Harvey, Irma and Maria in the US and Puerto Rico.

With regard to commercial properties, property managers and engineers worked diligently during the storm to set up flood gates, some even staying overnight, to prevent or minimize flooding damage. Several teams stayed on site up to four nights.
